Winshill

His crimes were horrific, but the reason his name has occasionally surfaced in connection with Fred has nothing to do with Camden.

Hardy was born in Winsill, near Burton-on-Trent.

In 1971, when Fred's body was discovered, Hardy was a young man, so geographically there is a connection, and years later the possibility was raised that Fred might somehow have been one of Hardy's earlier victims.

Staffordshire Police reportedly examined information concerning that possibility.
